Here's a good platform you can knock up for yourself....

Then, what you can do, is lower the ISO rating you're shooting at, as you'll be tracking the sky and won't need to shoot so fast to stop any trailing of the stars or to pickup your subjects quickly. Also helps to reduce noise in your piccies. |
Excellent info and thanks for the link Carl. I have been searching for a tracking mount for my camera that can fit into my current budget and this looks like its the go.
Looking forward to seeing some images Rosie and Jessie.
